Not to some people, and those are the people I'm talking about. The ones that said he couldn't be in the conversation as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport because he hadn't won a Cup, as if that is somehow a qualifying factor in the topic.

Nobody would say Ray Bourque isn't one of the best of all time if he didn't win the Cup in 2001, but people would have said it about Ovechkin. I don't know what it is, but some people just seem to invite more negative criticism than others.

Yeah, I've never been that kind of person, not for team sports.

I don't know about the first part. I think some people still would have.

People still say it about Dan Marino, after all, no?

True. I should know better than to use absolutes.

Yeah. That's pretty weird.

Both are pretty solid players. It's almost always a bad thing when the wife/girlfriends end up making big news.

I’m trying to reserve judgement until some real facts come out.  

But if this story turns out to be true, what a train wreck Ottawa is going to be.  From their goofball owner to this, I’d hate to be a supporter of the Sens right now.

I thought he died or something?

Nope.  You’re thinking of Bryan Murray, who was their GM until his passing last year or the year before that.

Yes, that's it. Melnyk has been the subject of the "Get Melnyk Out" billboard campaigns in Ottawa lately.

Thank you @Warren Zevon.

    • Day 50: 1/30/2025 Back home again, today. Got to do some full speed swings hitting balls into the garage net.
    • Something just popped into my head, based on your mention of the folks who "know the rules" but are generally wrong.  Another comment I read was "the Rules ALWAYS said.....".  When I come across those I often go to  www.ruleshistory.com to see if the rules ever said that.  You can find every (almost?) version of the rules since the first set in 1744.  Its fun to return to the conversation and say "You're a little bit right, the rules said that at one time, but that changed in 1984.  You've been playing under the wrong rule for 40 years!"  
    • Hi, checking back in to see if any St. Louis area golfers get together for a round or three during the year.  I have recently dropped my membership in a local league this year to work on my game and meet other people.  I would love to hear from anyone that would be interested in meeting for a round in the St. Louis area.   Rick
